This is too bad. I have to disagree with the good Senator. If you strip the ability of the media to be a watchdog (which outing confidential sources effectively does), how are the American people helped?
You would think he would see that there is a fundamental, constitutionally-guaranteed right at risk here because of his stand. I agree with Steve --remind Durbin if you can that an uninhibited free press is as important to keeping America great as its spies, and perhaps even moreso.
